@zoe_let There was a huge Trek fanfic comm on LiveJournal. There was always respect for the canon but an awful lot of shipping as well. Some writers went well off down the road to kink.

@Ao3Tikli @katerina_sings That is the problem, though. I have no idea what I want to read! I used to read pretty exclusively through recs and rec lists on LiveJournal. Even when AO3 was up, people still made rec lists. Now when I do search I search, get halfway through a fic, it's not my thing, start

these youths don't understand what fandom was like pre-AO3. if you wanted fix you had to join a million message boards, search all the various livejournal communities, & all the different fanfic archives for different fandoms, different ships, different kinks...it was a battle.

@G0UGER Ah LiveJournal. I remember having an account. I also remember even further back when fanfics were posted on Usenet groups and you had to sift through subscribed emails to see if there was a fix that you liked 😂

i've never used wattpad for fics, never will. idk, i much prefer ao3. but remember the days of livejournal fic communities? or fansite fanfic libraries? when my top fandom's libraries went down.. those were some of the saddest days. entire libraries just erased out of existence.

Tbh I’d be more devastated if one day livejournal went down under… I mean ffnet was the gateway for me definitely, but i think at some point some of the fandoms and ships I indulged in were more heavily tight-knit over at lj and not so much ffnet anymore.

Reported 2022-09-21 18:04:25

@ashposton There were authors I followed on livejournal who had their fics linked on sites like this, then deleted their LJ and the other sites went down, and that was that. Forever grateful to the ones who shifted stuff over to newer sites, even if just to archive it

The Noelle Deltarune blog posts during the Spamton Sweepstakes got me thinking about how fandom arguments would happen on Livejournal. Because you could change your pfp *per post* people's pfps would get progressively angrier as you scrolled down the page.

I miss the old LiveJournal fanfic days, sometimes. There were always folks to chat with, always a new challenge posted somewhere to answer-- I'm in the process of slowly taking down my old LJ and moving the fics to AO3 and my own archive and it's... like a slow funeral of sorts.

@LordBrozai @misslivejournal @RlyMakesMeThink @BasQuetzal Actually that's not the case, hence the ratio of lynched is quite similar to the modern incarceration rate. In fact, as the federal and state governments began ***erting legal control to stamp down on lynchings the ration of blacks condemned to death for these crimes increased.
